Raise the window on another day
Gotta take it as it comes
Just an actor waiting for a new play
Gotta take it as it comes
Ask me to dance, I will dance for you
Ask me to sing, you'll see what I do
If you feel sad, I'll make jokes for you
I'm a handyman, I'm still coming through
If you suffer from a broken heart
Gotta take it as it comes
If your lover tears your world all apart
Gotta take it as it comes
I've played a king and a down and out fool
Some like it hot, and some like it cool
Do what they want, but don't be their tool
Savor the throne, but don't mind the stool
Carry on, oooh
Carry on, oooh
Carry on, oooh
If they go too far
That's the way things are
Though it may hurt some
Take it as it comes
Oooh
Yeah
We're all skating on the thinnest of ice
Gotta take it as it comes
In a world that isn't so very nice
Gotta take it as it comes
Any day now, the curtain may fall
All the plays end, there's no curtain call
If you live sad, or it you walk tall
We're written on wind that's a lot to haul
Carry on, oooh
Carry on, oooh
Carry on, oooh
If they go too far
That's the way things are
Though your mind gets numb
Take it as it comes
